Walkabout Farm Therapeutic Riding Association took a late winter flurry in stride March 14, proceeding with its planned ‘Hike with Horses’ event despite overnight snowfall.
Owner Jennifer Semach said about a dozen people attended, enjoying strolls around her property’s trail system with Walkabout’s 10 horses – Coconut, Sweet Pea, Poppy, Sassy, Apollo, Monty, Gracie, Valentino, Julia and Ginny.
The non-profit offers equine-assisted therapy programs through spring, summer and fall.
Semach said there will be another Hike with Horses event April 11, with the popular Friendship Fri-YAY community drop-in resuming May 1, from 10:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.
The recreational equine assisted participation (REAP) program, where Semach takes some of Walkabout’s miniature horses into local long-term care homes, starts again in May, running every Monday.
